For the new challenge on my SoSalsa blog I used stamps from Autumn Leaves. Background stamped with Staz On White, sponged and added some more stamping. Astronaut adhered with 3D-tape and some bling from Hero Arts. Hope you'll join the challenge too!

I don't want you to think that I didn't do much last week... I was busy with the treats for the classmates and preparing my sons spooky birthdayparty. He turned 9 already! Did I tell you I just LOVE all spooky and Halloweenstuff? Now I can finally USE all the scrapstuff I gathered LOL. All the kids got a photoframe with a picture of themselves together with my son to take home. This picture is of my son and daughter.

My daughter goes to a birthdayparty this afternoon, so I made this card for her girlfriend. All stamps are from KI Memories. Background stamped with Versamark. Unfortunately the scanner can't see it on red. Paper is from Stampin' Up. Label is from Making Memories.

This weeks theme on the Crazy Amigo Challenge is Polkadots. I LOVE dots! Created by Hand wanted to see something with Versamark and I had to make a birthdaycard using Stampin' Up-stamps, so this is what I made.

On Father's Day I thought to use a stamp with men. Tag You're It likes to see a label with olive, eggplant and ivory (love this colorcombo). Menstamp is from Stampington, leaves from All Night Media, argyle from Stampin' Up, stripes from Hero Arts and swirls from Autumn leaves.

So Salsa's theme this week is Faux Postage. So make something with (real or faux) postal stamps. I used gesso on the label and sprayed with some colors. All stamps are from Heidi Grace, except for the postage stamp, I don't know which brand it is. For the Jellyfish I used Teykol as a resist and sponged it. The ribbon was sitting in my craftroom for ages and I have it from a knitting shop. Background is a bit blurry because my scanner doesn't like 3D-tape ;o).

Published very little on my blog, but I haven't been sleeping. For Winter's (my son) birthdayparty (he is going to be 9!!!) I made these invitations. He likes to have a spooky party. Well, how convenient... I have sooooo many Halloween-things LOL. Stamps and paper are all from Stampin' Up.

For Gothic Arches I made this circus-scene with several unmounted stamps. On the background I used Stampers Anonymous stripes. Alphabet is from Hampton Arts, but not sure about that. Sponged and colored and used nice blingies from Hero Arts. Background made with Cuttlebug embossingfolder.

For Small World of Inchies I made this Orange Inchie. Orange is the color of our national soccerteam and red, white and blue our national flag. As I said I'm not really a soccerfanatic, but somehow I ended op with this. Stamps are from Stampin' Up.

Orange is this weeks theme on my So Salsa Challengeblog. Not that I'm a huge soccerfan (orange is the color of our national soccerteam and this week the European Championship start), but our guys could use a little support. Backgroundstamp from Hero Arts stamped with white Staz On. Then colored with orange/red inks used as watercolors. Textstamp is from Hero Arts too. Sequin adhered with a Ka-Jinker link. Little stitching and an orange ribbon. Letter from Scenic Route. Behind that a transparancy and backed with orange cardstock to write a message. This could also be used for the challenges on Tag You're It and Rainbow Lady.

Today I got my stampsheet Dreamy Days from De Creatie. I just looooooove these cute stamps!!! Have to say that I lost my mojo. I saw all different kinds of wonderful creations made by others and now I can't come up with anything nice, so it took a while to get these two ready. Striped paper is from Basic Grey, dotted paper from Scenic Route.

There's somebody waiting on me for a card for the Theme Partner Swap for May =o((( So tonight I made this card and very much scraplifted it from Jennifer McGuire. All stamps are from KI Memories. Cardstock from Stampin' Up, striped paper from Basic Grey. Punched the scalloped border with my cornerpunch. Bumped dots were done with the Crop A Dile, distressed some borders and smeared a little ink.

My 100th message!!! I had not enough time this week to play with all the challenges. Hopefully I have more time to play again soon. My own challengeblog So Salsa has Puzzle for this weeks theme. I adhered Basic Grey Paper on my puzzlepiece. Girlstamp is from Stampotique, text is Penny Black, green circles from Judikins and the swirl is from Fancy Pants. Flowers from Prima, bling from Hero Arts, phototurns and a velvet ricracribbon. I ended with distresspowder from Tim Holtz around the piece.
